The Swift Current skyline will have a new grain terminal in 2021.
 
G3 Canada announcing plans today to build two new facilities, one in Swift Current and one in Vermilion, Alberta.
 
G3 CEO Don Chapman says G3 has been steadily growing to serve some of the most productive grain-growing regions in Western Canada.
 
"We're happy to add Vermilion and Swift Current to our network and give farmers there a fast and efficient option for moving their grain to market."
 
The G3 Swift Current site is on a CP line and will be state of the art with a capacity of 42,000 tonnes, while the G3 Vermilion site on the CN line will have a capacity of 34,000 tonnes.
 
The grain terminals will also feature a loop track that will be able to load a 150-car unit train, and unload a Super-B truck in less than five minutes.
 
Pending regulatory approval construction will begin in 2020,  with completion in 2021.
 
G3 currently has high-efficiency elevators under construction at Wetaskiwin, Morinville, Carmangay, Irricana and Stettler County, Alberta.

Sunflowers at Gordon Skagit Farms

Video: Sunflowers at Gordon Skagit Farms

Last year we had the chance to tour the 8-acre sunflower field at Gordon Skagit Farms and today I thought it would be fun to share some of the footage we filmed with you. If you’re within driving distance of the Skagit Valley and are looking for something to do this weekend, Gordon Skagit is open through the end of the month. In addition to having more specialty squash, pumpkins, and gourds than you can imagine, you will also be able to see this amazing sunflower field in its full glory.
